Three Kingdoms: Start by marrying Cai Yan, then vie for supremacy.

He beckoned to the director of Shanghai TV: "Weren't you investigating Junlin Entertainment's tax issues?"

"Speed ​​up the process, but the investigation must be thorough!"

"I want to see the full investigation report in half an hour."

After saying that, he walked straight to the next meeting room, clearly unwilling to talk any further.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment—just now this leader was greeting Mo with a smile, why did his attitude suddenly change so drastically?

The leader's temper is indeed unpredictable.

Judging from this situation, Junlin Entertainment is likely to be in trouble!

The head of Shanghai TV immediately accepted the order and set off with great enthusiasm.

The three entertainment giants of Shanghai also put away their enthusiasm for Yang Mi and Linghua, and Hua Chenyu in the corner became arrogant again.

Without the support of Shanghai TV, dealing with Mo Yi would be a piece of cake.

"What's going on?"

"Did Mo's talks with the leader break down?"

"Oh no, Hua Chenyu will definitely try to trip me up!"

"This is a huge problem!"

Why can't Mo know how to restrain himself?

Will Junlin Entertainment be completely finished today?

"Don't panic, with Mo here, we'll definitely be able to turn this into a safe situation!"

"Come on, if it weren't for their connections with the boss, would the three leaders even bother with Yang Mi and her group?"

……

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

Yang Mi and Linghua looked increasingly anxious. This crisis was far more serious than before—because standing in front of them was the most powerful figure in Shanghai's entertainment industry!

Right, we need to get Mo over here first.

At the order of the top management of Shanghai TV, the TV station director and the heads of the three major entertainment companies immediately launched a full-scale investigation.

Before long, the dispatched staff returned one after another, some with happy faces and others dejected.

Hua Chenyu looked at the confident staff members, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

"Sir, the inspection is complete," the TV station director reported.

The senior executive nodded: "Okay, call Mo, Yang Mi, Linghua, and the three chairmen in. Let's go to the conference room to see the results."

"clear!"

The TV station minister couldn't hide his excitement. He felt he had performed well this time and might even be promoted to a higher position.

Yang Mi and Ling Hua walked nervously into the conference room, while Mo followed behind them unhurriedly, his expression indifferent.

The heads of the three major entertainment companies also nervously followed in, their eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.

Hua Chenyu entered in single file with her entourage, including the person who had reported the incident during the live stream.

The whole scene resembled a trial for King's Landing Entertainment.

Hua Chenyu secretly rejoiced.

The meeting room fell silent for a moment.

Soon, someone rushed in to report: "Sir, all the inspection results have been compiled!"

"Thanks for your hard work."

The higher-up gestured, "Then let's begin. You'll preside over today; I'll just observe."

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Television perked up!

Hua Chenyu's heart was roaring:

"Mo, you're finished!"

......

"Oh my god! Are we really going to watch Junlin Entertainment go bankrupt?"

"Hua Chenyu's move was absolutely brilliant!"

"I never imagined that the company Mo and his team just founded would fail so soon!"

"What did Mo and the TV station executives discuss just now?"

"Yes, the boss was quite nice to Mo before!"

"The talks probably broke down!"

"Just who exactly is Mo?"

"According to rumors, he might be a descendant of a general, with an unfathomable background!"

Inside the live stream, netizens were having a lively discussion.

"This speculation does make sense. If Mo's background were ordinary, the leaders of Shanghai TV wouldn't have been so polite to him initially; if he had a powerful background, how could the leaders have dared to treat him and Junlin Entertainment like this?"

"Therefore, Mo's identity should be somewhere in between—he has a certain status, but he's not at the very top. Considering his age, the most likely candidate is the descendant of some important figure."

"Wow, that's amazing! You even managed to analyze that!"

"Haha, just a guess. Keep watching, everyone! Junlin Entertainment is sure to have some big news today!"

……

The viewers in the live stream were very excited.

With popular celebrities like Mo, official institutions like Shanghai TV, and the three giants of Shanghai's entertainment industry involved, how could this scene not attract attention?

Some people secretly wondered: Who on earth is risking their life to broadcast this live? They're incredibly daring! If they're discovered, the consequences could be dire!

However, no matter how netizens speculated, they would never have guessed that this live broadcast was actually authorized by the top management of Shanghai TV!

Junlin Entertainment Conference Room.

A well-made solid wood conference table was filled with people on both sides. On one side were Mo, Yang Mi, and Linghua from Junlin Entertainment, and on the other side were the department head of Shanghai TV and executives from the three major entertainment companies—Huihuang Entertainment, Chaoren Entertainment, and Leshen Entertainment.

The top leader of Shanghai TV sat in the main seat, his expression stern and his gaze sharp. Despite being over seventy years old, he exuded a suffocating air of authority.

Yang Mi, Ling Hua, and the executives of the three major entertainment companies were all intimidated by this momentum and felt uneasy.

The only exception was silence.

He leaned back lazily in his chair, playing mobile games casually, seemingly oblivious to everything around him.

"Linghua, what's wrong with your master?" Yang Mi secretly gave her a look.

Linghua returned a reassuring look: "Don't worry, leave it to Master."

Although she didn't know Mo's plans, Linghua, who had known him for many years, keenly sensed something was amiss. Mo was behaving very strangely today. Even Yang Mi hadn't noticed this, only Linghua, who knew Mo's temperament well, understood—although he was usually casual, he would never act inappropriately in a situation.

If he weren't absolutely certain, he would never have been so composed!

Suzuka firmly believed this.

She gave Yang Mi a reassuring look, and the tension in both of them eased slightly.

At this moment, the director of Shanghai TV coldly questioned, "Mo, Yang Mi, Linghua, do you know your mistake?!"

"Upon investigation, it was found that Junlin Entertainment's establishment involved numerous irregularities, and its financial accounts also contained many unclear aspects."

"I hereby formally announce that Junlin Entertainment will immediately cease operations for rectification. It may only resume business after the investigation is completed and all issues are confirmed!"

……

The minister's lengthy speech boiled down to just one point—Junlin Entertainment must be shut down.

The so-called "resumption of business after a thorough investigation" is nothing but a pretext. The length of the investigation period is entirely up to him.

Such issues are insignificant in China, but the other party deliberately seized on minor details to make a big deal out of them, thereby suppressing Junlin Entertainment.

As for the personal accounts of the three men, they had already passed tax audits and were completely transparent. It was precisely because there was no loophole that the minister had no choice but to nitpick.

"Do you have any objections?" A senior executive from Shanghai TV asked, glancing sideways at the three of them.

Silence remained as deep as an abyss.

Linghua hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself—this wasn't a street argument, and every word had to be carefully chosen.

Only Yang Mi responded clearly and logically: "Leader, the problem pointed out by the minister does indeed exist."

She readily admitted the oversight. After all, for such a large company, perfection would only appear deceptive.

Then, changing the subject, he said, "But these problems can be completely resolved through rectification. We promise to make thorough corrections within three days. Can you withdraw the business suspension order?"

……

Yang Mi meticulously analyzed Junlin Entertainment's role in promoting Shanghai's cultural and entertainment industry, and elaborated on the company's development plan. After her speech, her voice was slightly hoarse.

Unbeknownst to anyone, a hint of approval flashed in the eyes of a senior executive at Shanghai TV.

In his eyes, Yang Mi was indeed an outstanding girl, with a clear mind, logical thinking, and a limitless future.

What are your thoughts?

The executives at Shanghai TV turned to the other side and asked in a deep voice.

The head of Shanghai TV immediately chimed in: "Boss, I believe Junlin Entertainment must be ordered to cease operations and undergo rectification! Allowing such illegal businesses to operate in Shanghai will inevitably harm the entire entertainment industry!"

He was obsessed with currying favor with his superiors and, convinced that the leaders wanted to completely suppress Junlin Entertainment and Mo, directly convicted the company.

The chairman of Brilliant Entertainment, seizing the opportunity, said, "Boss, I also agree to suspend the operations of Junlin Entertainment. Mo, Linghua, and Yang Mi have all terminated their contracts with Tangren Entertainment; their character remains to be seen."

"I think further observation is needed." The chairman of Superman Entertainment frowned slightly.

He initially intended to echo their sentiments, but Brilliant Entertainment beat him to it, so he changed his stance. Since he couldn't compete, he decided to remain neutral.

After a moment's thought, the chairman of Le Shen Entertainment agreed, "We should indeed investigate for a few more days."

Unexpectedly, opinions diverged, resulting in a two-on-two situation.

How should this be resolved?

……

boom!

Hua Chenyu felt a surge of anger.

What happened?

Why is the chairman of Leshen Entertainment speaking up for Junlin Entertainment?

If we don't seize this opportunity to crush the other side, when will we?

His eyes reddened with anger, but he dared not utter a word. The room was filled with powerful figures; he was merely an insignificant nobody with no right to speak.

If he knew Mo's true identity—the most distinguished person among those present—his expression would probably be quite interesting.

The chairman of Le Shen Entertainment, whom he looked up to, was merely a subordinate of the minister of Shanghai TV, and the minister was just an insignificant follower of the higher-ups, who in turn were just Mo's subordinates!

The difference between Hua Chenyu and Mo is more than just heaven and earth.

It's like being separated by an entire Milky Way!

Unfortunately, due to the restrictions of the [Counterattack System], Mo cannot reveal his identity and can only act discreetly, which makes him feel helpless.

Hua Chenyu is destined never to know Mo's true identity, unless he one day reaches the pinnacle of the entertainment industry!

But how could that day ever come?

Hua Chenyu glared fiercely at Mo, but seeing that he still looked calm and collected, she was furious!

On what grounds?

Why is that?

We are the ones here to investigate, and we have the right to deal with you. Why are you so calm?

Why?

On what grounds?

How dare you do this?

"Mo, you're dead today!" Hua Chenyu roared hysterically in her heart.

"Hey, it's you." The sudden voice startled Hua Chenyu, who looked up to find a high-ranking executive from Shanghai TV pointing at her.

Seeing Hua Chenyu look up, the leader continued, "Young man, I see you have a lot of opinions. Why don't you tell me your thoughts on this matter?"

"Me?" Hua Chenyu's face instantly lit up with ecstatic joy!

The higher-ups at Shanghai TV actually called on me to speak?

Isn't this the perfect opportunity to avenge myself!

Hua Chenyu was so excited she was trembling all over!

"Oh no! We're doomed!" Yang Mi whispered, "Linghua, what do we do? The leader asked Hua Chenyu to speak; he'll definitely use that opportunity to slander us!"

Suzuka was also somewhat flustered: "Mimi, we can only play it by ear."

Just as the two were filled with worry.

The viewers in the live stream also witnessed this scene.

"No way? They actually chose Hua Chenyu?"

"Everyone knows Hua Chenyu and Mo have a grudge; he'll definitely take this opportunity to smear Mo and Junlin Entertainment!"

"But what can they do? They're just the ones being investigated!"

"Mo is doomed this time! Junlin Entertainment is finished!"

"Haha, I knew our Huahua was amazing! Even the higher-ups at Shanghai TV appreciate him!"

"Huahua is the best!"

"That despicable Hua Chenyu, all she knows is such tricks!"

"Exactly! Those who resort to underhanded tactics when they can't compete in singing should have been banned long ago!"

"If it weren't for having a powerful father, Hua Chenyu would have been blacklisted eight hundred times over!"

"This is a total rip-off! This is a total rip-off!"

How will Junlin Entertainment respond this time?

......

The viewers in the live stream were having a heated discussion, and the number of online viewers had exceeded three million—and that's just the data from a regular account!

But at this moment, no one would care about this detail.

"Boss, Hua Hua is so young, what brilliant ideas could she possibly have?" The chairman of Le Shen Entertainment smiled and tried to smooth things over. "Why don't we listen to your arrangements? I'm sure you already have a well-thought-out plan."

???

Upon hearing this, Hua Chenyu's face instantly showed confusion, followed by a surge of anger in her heart.

This is absolutely outrageous!
